When Lauren, a determined doctorate student, arrives in Montana to study the elusive Black-footed Ferret, she never expected to clash with Buck, the rugged, stoic rancher who owns the land she needs. The land may be vast, but Buck's heart is even bigger-trapped in grief and a past he's trying to outrun.
Lauren's research is critical, but so is the undeniable chemistry between them. As the tension builds between their professional lives and their growing attraction, both must face the past they're trying to bury and the future they're afraid to embrace.
With the land and the ferrets' survival on the line, can Lauren and Buck tame their wild hearts long enough to build a love that's as strong as the Montana landscape?
Get ready for a slow burn, a love worth fighting for, and a cowboy who just might surprise you.
